10.7.05

With the click of a mouse, the public can go to a local OfficeMax to pick up printed and collated copies of NASA mission and program data, pictures and other space-related information.

NASA and OfficeMax have partnered to get agency printed materials into the hands of students, educators and the public quickly and easily. Documents downloaded from NASA's web site, can be printed at your nearest OfficeMax store. OfficeMax Print and Document Services facilities are offering savings of up to 50 percent on all materials printed from the NASA Web site.

"This partnership with OfficeMax offers another creative avenue to ensure NASA's educational products are available quickly and efficiently for the public and teachers," said Joe Davis, Director of NASA's Strategic Communications Office.

Anyone can search free materials on NASA's Web site by visiting: http://www.nasa.gov/education/materials

Teachers and other space enthusiasts can either print the materials themselves or click the new OfficeMax icon on the NASA Web site. The materials will be professionally copied and collated for delivery, shipping or available for next-day pick up at the nearest OfficeMax store. In many cases, materials are lengthy and have numerous color pictures and graphics, which can take hours to download.

Print and Document Services facilities are located inside all OfficeMax stores. They offer full-service digital printing, self-serve copying, custom printing and a full suite of binding and finishing services. With OfficeMax Print and Document Services' digital network, anyone can send files directly from their desktop to the nearest of OfficeMax's approximately 1,000 nationwide stores via the Web.

Through its Web site, NASA has made educational materials available to teachers since 1988. Teachers can download and print educator guides, classroom activities, posters, pictures, and information about science,
technology, rocketry, planets and engineering. For information about NASA Education programs on the Web, visit: http://education.nasa.gov
